>40 generals for DnD>40 generals for Warhammer>40 generals for osr
>0 generals for goblins
>>98019255Good. Goblins are stupid and smell bad.
Generals are, were, always have been and always will be a mistake.
>>98019275Personally I would keep the share thread and combine all general OPs into a single thread to archive links, and have discussion happen in fire and forget threads.
>>98019275I like that WIP exists, everyone who posts their actual craft on this god forsaken site are saints. But maybe permanent threads and generals aren't the same thing?
>>98019233>I hate regular traffic centered around staples of the hobby!Why even visit the site?
>>98019233But all of them were deceived, for another general was made
>>98019233These are major players in the hobby. >>98019255 Damn shame really
>>98019437Okay, this one made me chuckle
>>98019275>will be a mistakeYes and no.Yes in the sense that their purpose is good to mitigate the amount of DnD and Warhammer and OSR threads being constantly spewed out.No in the sense that the communities are not that great but remember the website were on.I have a feeling that if a Janny tries to actually purge excess Warhammer/DnD threads then trolls are gonna spam them to "troll" the jannies.I vaguely remember seeing I think an /int/ catalogue screencap of shitting on Russia because a mod was allegedly deleting threads mocking Russia and /int/ trolls noticed and fought back.So something similar might happen here.Might.So Jannies probably are playing it safe.
>>98019233What did you expect? Those game lines are what 90% of people actually fucking play.
What generals would goblins browse?
>>98019233To be fair, of the 40 generals for OSR, two are real (/osrg and /nsrg) and 38 are schizo-generated.
>>98019536Nah, I'm pretty sure the shizo would have to be that troll who keeps trying to flood them while screaming "SAMEFAGSAMEFAGSAMEFAG" and prompting everyone to just keep moving on. Is that you? You sound like him.
>>98019548The schizo in question, ladies and gentlemen.
>>98019455>Yes in the sense that their purpose is good to mitigate the amount of DnD and Warhammer and OSR threads being constantly spewed out.Why is this a good purpose?
>>98019568You really have a weird thing where you imagine there's some huge audience that actually cares about you. That's pure schizo behavior.
>>98019514>humans gen>paladins gen>swampcore gen>hoarders gen>buttstuff gen
>>98019233Remaining catalog is all>Are there characters in your setting?>Does bread exist in your setting?>Does you character breath?>Tell me about your character's last bowel movement>Do you think Paladins should have to pay taxes in your setting?>How many rats has your character fought? >The local tavern wench farts at your character
>>98019395>But maybe permanent threads and generals aren't the same thing?In practice they are the same thing but they have more of a lifespan because they can adapt to some major changes here and there as well as having a reason to post conversation starters every other day.
>>98019661Weirdly enough if you consoliated those into a general plot hook thread it would be a lot more bearable.
>>98019809Not really. Puckee threads don't have any substance behind them and aren't even the kind of question that can be spun into a plothook or an interesting story element. They're always just vapid.
>>98019275I think generals have single handily killed 4chan. /a/ is a graveyard.
>>98019995Do you use any of them, or just wait for someone to make a shitpost thread tangentially related to a series or manga you know?
>>98019275What do you anti-generalist think getting rid of Generals would actually do?/tg/ is usually best when it's not a fast board to begin with, so how would atomizing discussions you already claim are clogging up the board help?
>>98020063The board was literally better before we had generals you fucking retard. It turns out it's actually not a problem at all if everyone who has a random D&D question just makes a new thread for it.
>>98019233big corporate ruined this site
>>98020085>It turns out it's actually not a problem at all if everyone who has a random D&D question just makes a new thread for it.That shit is exactly why the generals started getting made. And it was a problem and it's why "HYTNPDND" became a thing.
>>98020113NTAYRT, you really are a cancerous little retard.
>>98020121You got your asshole reamed in that "it depends" thread and now you're screaming and crying here? Get better opinions instead of being a retarded bitch all the time.
>>98020113>That shit is exactly why the generals started getting made.Exactly, this isn't /b/, we're not entirely random shit.Threads will naturally consolidate just as easily as they'll split.
>>98020010I do not like generals, no. And I also don't like passive aggressive bitching from idiots who think we're on reddit, so consider this one potentially my last (you).
>>98020191So you don't want to discuss a show or game with people who are talking about that topic, but expect to be able to make a thread about whatever you want and then have the people you don't want to talk to come to you to discuss a topic?
>>98020128>immediate attempt at deflectionWhat a dumb faggot.
>>98020236Yup, it's you alright. How goes the troll hunting, retard?
>>98019275there should be a /tgg/ board like /vg/ to take all the generalslop out of the catalog
>>98020280Just make a personal filter for the word "general" and watch as 50+ threads you don't care about instantly disappear.
>>98020280It would be interesting to see, though /vg/ got split because /v/ was getting too big. /tg/ on the other hand is down to 5k daily users.Split off the generals, and /tg/ might actually die./tgg/ would have been a good idea five or so years ago, but it's too late now.
>>98020280Ironically if /vg/ was being used for its intended purpose about 80% of the Warhammer threads on /tg/ would disappear instantly.
>>98019633>humans gen>paladins genHow predictable.
>>98020328/twg/ is where anything non-specifically tabletop rules related gets discussed anyway.
>>98020280people shit on /v/, but is one of the remaining active boards on this site that you can find organic discussion (despite the obvious astroturfing). the rest of the site is just unusable because generals had turned this place into tumblr/reddit lite.
>>98020294>Split off the generals, and /tg/ might actually die.Honestly wondering if this isn't the goal considering what happened after Quest got booted off...
>>98020592We're not doing this revisionism shit again. If quests mattered to /tg/, then /qst/ would be exploding with activity and /tg/ would be dead. /tg/ is trudging along at a snail's pace, but /qst/ is doing so poorly that people forget it even exists. Nearly all quests were primarily frequented by small, specific groups of regulars. Once a quest went past its first couple threads, the majority of anons coming and going didn't even bother glancing at "Magical Butler Tacticool Harem Quest #49" because they weren't going to read the backlog ever. Once a quest would end, those regulars would not go running to any and all other quests. The thing that killed quests was that the ones the minority of users were actually following eventually ended and they didn't bother following any new ones.
>>98019255>>98019514goblin women owe me sext. male human paladin
>>98020636Thank you for being a good example of how much antiquestfags damaged /tg/. You have a melty every time someone rightfully points out the removal of quests turned out horribly in every measurable regard.
>>98020671They proved if they seethe the hard enough, they can downvote things like reddit. Why would he ever stop seething?
>>98020666Gobs mock paladins.
>>98020671Thanks for proving what a disingenuous faggot you are by ignoring everything said and spewing some retarded bullshit to pretend like you've ever had a real argument.
>>98020671Your argument holds no weight in light of /tg/'s decline. Your policies of consistent banning continue to this day with attempts to remove generals. You have made a kingdom of dust from a flourishing land.
>>98020881Oop, this was meant to go to >>98020843
>>98019233>40 generals for osrThey're not generals.It's a response to faggots who want to autistically gatekeep /osrg/ from bad-wrong-fun games that don't fit their contested definition that D&D second edition is "not OSR"We made threads free of that shit, and they openly admit to raiding/spamming them at >>98016198 >>98001657 & >>98001965They also are pushing the idea that everyone who opposes them is actually just "one guy" who somehow posts across timezones & has never played dnd once before, and please trust us everyone agrees its just one guy.And these threads will keep getting made at a rate of a normal thread. If they raid and spam it to bump limit we will make more, because there's no rules against making threads. /osrg/ still exists, they're not a general.
>>98020921>who want to autistically gatekeep /osrg/Yes, osrg is allowed to have whatever definition of what is and is not off topic for itself, that it wants. Get it through your fucking skull, that that thread is not for catering to outsiders, it's for people who want to exclude people like you.
>>98020666This is why as a proud spanish-blooded male, I found a short stack half Ginger half Filipina goblin woman to colonize. Like having a little squishy Fleshlight bouncing on your BHC
>>98020962NTA, but if you wanted that, wouldn't it make sense to just call you and your clique something else?If you want to keep out actual OSR people, you might as well call yourselves Restricted Old Games or whatever, since you want some sort of limited version of OSR instead of what everyone else thinks of when they think of OSR.
>>98019233Traditional games?
>>98020921Fuck off, schizo.
>>98019233We also have a worldbuilding general for you nogames retards. You are welcome.
>>98019455>MightIt would and it's an excuse. Especially these days. Faggots are vibe coding million dollar businesses into failure. These retards could saar code a fucking AI mod. Probably do a better job just on the case it can work 24/7.
>>98019233Contiguous ai slop threads are worse.
>>98020881Genuinely: What do you think would happen if quests were reintegrated into /tg/? You think people would come running back? Do you believe they left because the board split was so outrageous and unacceptable that the mythical massive quest-loving users vanished into thin air? Do you think the current crop of users, who have very clearly told you repeatedly that they are glad quests are gone, will be happy to have a few more PPH on /tg/ that they just start participating in quests again?Lay it out for us. Explain how you think any of this works.
Orcs and goblins are different names for the same creature in my eyes.
I filled a solidnigger with cheese and raped him with a hammer and now you wanna say something trite. Typical!
The fuck Goblins became popular and even got msut art for them?Warhammer 40k/Fantasy got those fuckers right at least; none of the shit would even fly.
>>98021384That's weird, I don't like that unless youre running some sort of Tolkein campaign.
>>98021445I just don't see the point in making them different races.
rape women
>>98021363Anon, I've seen you basically copy paste the same post in multiple threads now seething about quests. Every time someone bemoans your actions, you are there to see the in the exact same way. Your seething had obvious negative effects on the board, and left us the wasteland we are today. There is no recovery, so long as you are present. Perhaps not at all
>>98021363Tons of people left not because of the quest split, but because Alternative and his fuckbuddies were being faggots as usual. Pretty much everybody making original content left because the mods told them they were not welcome, in no uncertain terms.
>>98021473>seethe>seethe>seetheWhy can't you answer the question? You've seen it multiple times and never given a straight answer.
>>98021478The repeated removal of people making shit and playing games has been devastating for the board. What is even left once the generals are banned?
>>98021481Shit you're illiterate too? Fuck that explains a lot. Perhaps try reading my last post for a clue what would happen, when you get done seething.
>>98021489You can't explain your rationale in any way, so instead you jump to the conclusion that I, or other anons, were personally responsible for quests getting their own board, a thing that the mods would never have considered if not for a large enough portion of users demanding it. You are so obsessed with this quest shit, but can't even understand how retarded you sound when you whine about how badly /tg/ needed to keep quests, but can't explain why quests can't function on their own board, but /tg/ can.You're not making sense. You sound like a fucking idiot when you keep going on about this fiction of seething "antiquestfags" ruining the board. If you love quests so much, why aren't you and all of the other supposed quest lovers on /qst/ right now? Why is that board so fucking dead, even by present day 4chan standards? Why aren't you examining your own retarded behavior instead of lashing out like a schizo faggot?
>>98019597fewer garbage threads about trash games for dumb gay babies is good, obviously.
>>98021501Man, you didn't even try to read the post. Enjoy your rule over this wasteland you've wrought, I'm sure removing generals will save it .
>>98020412why does this say "the guild of mages and the arcane himself"? who is "himself" referring to? there is no individual mentioned.
>>98020671Weird, his post contains an explanation and supports his position. Yours doesn't. Why?
>>98021516As was just proven, to do so would be pointless as he is functionally illiterate.
>>98021468But they ARE different races.
>>98020921You write EXACTLY the same in every post. I dont even care about OSR at all but I can recognize YOUR posts because you use the same BS “”we”” technique to try and conjure up an image of a whole crowd supporting this mass spamming of /tg/. I want your stupid fucking threads to go away. The “OSR thread” began with a reference to /OSRG/ and some shit about what they don’t allow, so your claims that it’s not about discussing /OSRG/ are kinda BS. If it wasn’t you wouldn’t have even mentioned them in the OP. I don’t play DnD or any other RPG so I don’t give a shit about you faggots definition of whatever OSR is but the mods and jannies need to figure out where they stand on this and bring the hammer down because it has now become INCREDIBLY annoying.
>>98020257Were you the one spamming smileys? Or the one who says he's not here for social stuff but then spends the day arguing?
>>98021435AoS goblins are some of the best, definitely.
>>98021513The arcane may be a title
>>98021561We humans have the 8 foot dinka nilotics and tiny pygmies as the same race, and amongst the human race are also the Fueguians that can swim in near freezing water without issue. Having orcs and goblins be different just makes them more shallow, as in fantasy all flavors of elf are still elves and they run a whole spectrum of idiocy.
>>98021625>literally just fantasy goblins but on round bases and with less varietyVery good.
>>98021661>and with less varietyMath isn't your strong point, is it?
>>98019275>the only threads that actually discuss traditional games>a mistake
>>98021756>less goblins than before because they got rid of hill goblins>also doesn't have kobolds and the other myriad WD goblins2-1 does not actually equal 3 anon.
Joblins...
>>98021561They really only became different races over time because mechanically in D&D you'd need different stat blocks for one being small and the other being big. So the result is that in popular culture they diverged, despite orcs literally starting off as big goblins. And not even especially large goblins, but "almost man sized" at the largest.At this point yes they're largely considered different but related races, but it's ignorant to pretend they've always been this way. The only major modern game I can think of that still really keeps them tied together is Warhammer, because legally they are the same species there still.
>>98021468
>>98019233That would still be better than the current state of the board
>>98021795Ah yes, because having a TQ of "how do you handle blonde babes in D&D?" is much better
>>98021521Concession accepted.
>>98022423How do you handle blonde babes in your setting?*
>>98022156>They really only became different races over timeThis is some impressive revisionism. Goblins are diminutive creatures found in European folklore. Orcs are humanoid monsters invented by Tolkien. While Tolkien's orcs were inspired by The Princess and the Goblin, the archetype that he defined ended up bearing little resemblance to most mythological goblins. Insisting that they must be the same requires either refusing to include what most people think of as an "orc" or abandoning the folkloric goblin more or less entirely.
>>98022777He literally calls orcs big goblins in the Hobbit retard.
Another big problem of generals. They create too many schizos. Like the ones currently invading this thread.
>>98022782>missing the point this hardTolkien's orcs are not folkloric goblins. He may use the word, but the concepts are distinct. What orcs have developed into in most media is even further from the folkloric goblin.It's also worth pointing out that Tolkien explicitly has hobbits as a subrace of humans, yet you see precious few complaints about those having "diverged over time".
>>98019233So talk about something interesting, dipshit.
>>98022880You do realize saying "Tolkien orcs aren't folkloric goblins" is as dumb as saying "Tolkien goblins aren't folkloric goblins" right
Why are generals bad again? They typically are the only way you can discuss specific topics on this site anymore.
>>98022940Because it pisses off some resident autists who confuse generals being created with the "downfall" of the site. And we all have to agree with the resident autists.
>>98022880No one is missing any points, anon. You tried to turn a conversation down a tangent, impressed with your own attempt to wax poetic about something no one else was talking about. People not being as fascinated with you as you are with yourself isn't "missing the point." You're just tedious.
>>98022947The catalog and generals literally were bad for the site.
>>98022940If you don't know, is very likely because you're part of the problem
>>98023001No they weren't
>>98022775You got the point, yes.
>>98022852People are really struggling with the format of an anonymous image board, they want to behave like in a forum and talk like on social media.
>>98019233I like female goblins
>>98023025>forumModern 4chan wishes it was a forum. Schizos just behave like they do on twitter and reddit. With personal grudges going forever
>>98021384I think this is fine if you're also going to treat humans and dwarves similarly.
>>98021513maybe its badly translated from a language with gendered nouns, like german, fr*nch, russian, or whatever
>>98020636Yes we are.
>>98021471Instructions unclear. Farted in all of your socks.
>>98022027>nigga doesn't even knwo what grotbag is
>>98024188>boardgame mobsBruh.
>>98023077>With personal grudges going foreverThis is what baffles me, everyone behaves like they're constantly trying to play mentalist and profile anonymous users that often enough admit they're just fucking around to get under people's skin.
>>98023026Don't we all?
>>98023026>>98025062why can't femgoblins be real bros>tfw no shortstack tomboy gf
>>98020666Yeah, well, human men owe us booze and cunnilingus.
>>98025088Because we are fallen creatures living in an evil world.
>>98025088This is why I married my Filipina hillbilly gf
>>98021582>I want your stupid fucking threads to go away. Sure, but only when the foreign occupiers of /osrg/ go away, & stop hijacking the OP to only make the general about the "first decade.">mass spamming of /tg/.It's not spam. We make threads when they hit bump limit and go down the catalog, that's it.
At what point did goblins turn into goonblins? What the transition gradual as it is with degenerate coomers or do you think it was some kind of cultural event?
>>98026907When people could play as them. So WoW and later editions of D&D. Players making female characters tend to want them to be at least a little attractive. So WoW goblins kind of became the thin edge of the wedge that creates the modern coom goblin by having female goblins that aren't super attractive by any means but have cute hair and makeup and boobs.
>>98026907
>>98026907As soon as people started playing them in non-rounding-error numbers. People often want their 'avatars,' be they games or player characters, to be people they would consider attractive.That just forks off into porn, because you know what most men find attractive? Women shorter than them with curves who want to have sex with them.
>>98023001If you can't discuss a topic in a general, then you're not going to get a better thread by making a stand-alone thread for one small question or sub-topic. We could bring by the QTDDTOT threads, but whiny faggots would insists that's another general, and it still wouldn't stop the blatant braindead spamming or make retards able to type up a thread with a clear question or purpose.
>>98027097>>98027013>>98026920Thank you sirs. My hated for blizzard, americans and coomers increases.
>>98019233I'm so tired of green Latina fetishizism
>>98020592>to this day, questfags are seethingI won der if this is going to be like those chimp social pressure experiments where eventually the entire original generation of questfags who were seething about getting the boot are gone but somehow a new generation of seething questfags have arisen despite no personal experience of quests being on, and shitting up, /tg/.
